And if you haven’t already heard ….

First, we have added a ton of videos from the The 2008 DNC Convention, courtesy of Barack’s Youtube Page:

Ted and Caroline Kennedy

Michelle Obama

Hillary Clinton

Bill Clinton

John Kerry

Joe Biden

Barack Obama

See those in the 2008 Elections Section here.

We’ve also added five videos from Kal Penn’s appearance at UCF. The audio isn’t fantastic, but it’s still good to watch if you missed him.

Watch those in the Club Videos and Slideshows Section here, or at our Youtube. Hopefully, we’ll have some screencaps from these videos up soon.

I’ll be working on adding pictures from all of our Summer events over the next few days.

Also, our first meeting of the semester is tomorrow.  It’s from 8:00 - 9:00 PM, and the room will be announced as soon as possible.  Be sure to come out!

Some things are done and ready, and some things are still coming up. You may notice that some of the links are broken, and they will be fixed as soon as I get the new layout set up. Sorry for the inconvenience!

First, the Officers Page has been belatedly updated, with Ben King as President, Julia Senecal as VP, and Sarah Haygood as Secretary. Congrats, guys!

Also, the Issues Page has been updated, with the issues that The Democratic Party has listed on their website.

There are also some new images in the Gallery — some Barack Logos, as well as some logos of our very own.

I added some new sites to the Site and Web Page, including some of our new Family Sites: Fresh Dems, a group for our new freshmen; and Knights 4 Change, created by UCF Students for Barack Obama and the College Democrats at UCF, with help from Senator Obama’s National Campaign for Change.

That’s it for now, but you can look forward to a new layout and header for the site, as well as a new header for the image gallery. Here’s a preview!

See them in the 2008 Elections Media Section.

Tuesday, June 24th

8:00 - 9:00 PM

Student Union, Cedar Key, Room 223

Facebook Event.

Also, our first two meetings will be held in a boardroom that holds only about 15-20 people. So, please don’t bring a lot of extra people with you and prepare for the possibility that you may be standing or sitting on the floor. Get there early to ensure yourself a seat!

I also changed some general layout and design type things. On the Sidebar, I added a quote box, which I will try to update and change on a regular basis, but no promises. There is also a spot for Latest Pics, where you can see what our latest Gallery additions are.

The Media Page has been revamped again. I added Barack Obama {dot} com’s Youtube Channel, as well as little preview buttons for each section. You can also see when each section was last updated. So, for instance, I added two new Barack videos (his first General Election TV Ad and an Important Campaign Announcement) to the 2008 Election Section today, so that section says as such.

The Links Page has a couple new additions, as well as some Barack banners that link to his main site and his Youtube Channel. A couple Facebook Groups of Interest have also been added.

A few Upcoming Events have been added:

First Meeting of the Summer

SFBO’s Countdown to November

The 2008 South Florida Democratic Party Summit

And, finally, I added a page dedicated to Barack Obama, which can be found under Pages in the Sidebar. There, you’ll find some quick links, as well as Latest News and Latest Videos Widgets, courtesy of Barack Obama {dot} com.

Our Political Affairs Director, Miki Hirama, is currently working on updating our Issues Page, so stay tuned for that!

Watch out for Summer meeting times, either here or on the Facebook Group.

I’ve added pics of the shiny new brochures that we’ll be handing out when we table — one for the club in general, and one for Barack. They were made by the always awesome (and your new VP) Ben King, so if you see him, tell him how great they look! You can check them out in the Gallery.

Also, I reorganized the Media Page, creating sub-pages for the different categories of videos we have.  That way, there’s not an endless page of random videos.  The new categories are:

Club Videos and Slideshows

2008 Elections

Weekly Topics and Issues

SiCKO Health Care Seminar @ UCF

I’ve also found a new (well, new to me) Barack video by Will.I.Am. It’s in the 2008 Elections Section, but I’ll put it here, too.

And, if you’re new to the club and the site, be sure to familiarize yourself with the club by checking out the About Page and the Issues Page. If you want to see what you missed at last semester’s meetings, our Meeting Minutes are compiled in the Meetings Section, which can be found in the left sidebar.

I finally got around to completely updating the site. Updates include:

- A new layout has been designed. I just need my tech guy to upload it into the template.

- The new officers have been added.

- The Media Page has been updated, with a link to our Youtube, some video clips from the SiCKO Healthcare Seminar we held last semester, and some of the slideshows and videos we’ve made for the club.

- The Florida College Democrats Facebook Group has been added as an affiliate. Our very own John Martino is the newly elected President, so be sure to congratulate him if you see him!
